Students of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, University of Indonesia (FIB UI) created an innovation for learning literature in the form of board games and cards with the theme of Indonesian literature called the Indonesian Language and Literature Game Board (Paman Sandi). This innovation was initiated by Paman Sandi's Student Creativity Program Team for Entrepreneurship (PKM-K). The idea for this innovation stems from their discovery of data from the Indonesian Survey Institute in 2018 about the lack of interest in studying literature in Indonesia.


From the problem, the three UI students got an idea to form Paman Sandi as a non-book literary learning product. In addition to the literary elements, Paman Sandi's product raises the language element which is applied to the questions. This is also based on the inequality of the names of national writers who are better known than regional writers. The shape of this game is like the Uno game card with a shape like a rectangular net that can be disassembled into a board. This game is also packed with 40 literary cards which are the main points of the game.


On each literary card, there are two sides of information; on the front side there is brief information about face illustrations, place of birth date, works of Indonesian writers, as well as interesting facts about the writer. Meanwhile, on the back side of the card, there are three questions about language and related to the interesting facts of the writer, as well as a quote from the writer's literary work. This game relies on the cards that the players get and the system is to exchange cards and answer questions on the cards. Each player is asked to question what card he wants to have with other players, for example a red card from the Java Island. If the player can answer the question posed by the opposing player who holds the red Java Island card, he or she is entitled to the literary card.
